Put an extra bag over them and considering freezing the lot till it's sorted out or I decide what to do. I figure if they are going back what to I care if they get mushy and if they are staying best place is freezer Starting to thing there's a chance they left the warehouse ok and got popped...

Just received delivery of 3kg of hops at a cost of about €140 2 of the 3 vacuum packed pouches are punctured. the three pouches are all sealed up together in plastic in the HB store's logo plastic its not impossible they could have left the warehouse ok and somehow taken a knock in transit...

I have fermzilla 55l and enough room for that and up to about 4 regular plastic fermentors. But somehow never enough beer 😜😜😜 I'm a "more is more" guy I'm also strictly extract, so there's no benefit for me in diluting at the wort stage as I'm basically doing that already ...

Ah ... I understand ... it has to be a purged counterflow chiller straight from boiling and and it has to be stainless... How is the actual blending achieved Red, do you just use another purged keg and a spundy? Why do yo want loDO if you are diluting prior to fermentation though? As DuncB...

Thank mate. So essentially you just boil, calculate the SMB needed to scrub the O2 down to 3ppm and add it, and that is sufficient and you are not worried bout the byproduct? Can you recommend a DO meter that won't break the bank? What's the minimum spend on that? How much do you dilute the...

I'm talking about diluting the finished beer prior to packaging like the big boys ...

Yeah, it's taste, general perfectionism ad being held Scottish (tight fisted 😁) I'm in Ireland ... be nice not to have to take supplements and just have everything rolled into the water. All good back to the drawing board

That's what I needed to know, thanks. So the DI filter is just to clean up the last 10%? That was the plan, to build some classic minera water profiles, have the spreadsheet for that, just figured there might be a more elegant short cut

Awesome, thanks

Cheers bud ... how do I tag? I a technologically challenged

Yep, that's exactly right. That's why it's perfect for me for brewing. The question is really about avoiding deminerlaization for drinking water... I may not have been clear enough, have talent for overcomplicating explanations.

Hi folks. So I finally got around to buying an R.O. filter - what a game changer. I am strictly extract and have no plans to go all grain, so it suits me perfectly for brewing. I read somewhere that "remineralization filters" are basically BS and don't really do a whole lot to properly...

This question is about making O2 free "blendwater" to blend with high gravity brews like the big breweries do, but t the home brew scale. What am I missing here ...? I'm sure there is a reason this wouldn't work otherwise I would have heard of people doing it by now ... hopefully someone can...

Thanks for the replies. I swirled and used about a third in the end ...

Anyone know what is going on here? This is, (or was) slurry harvested yesterday Overnight in the fridge and it looks like this I know lutra is ridiculously flocculant ... But I always get mixed up about which bit is supposed to be the good viable yeast, the top or the bottom ... I'm...

Don't know what you are getting at there ... Other than the butterfly valve there are no valves just qds Got beer in the damn spundy doing it as well :(

Managed to shift about half the hop cake by blowing through God knows how much gas, but it wasn't a little...

I followed one of the homebrew network vids where he put 30psi on the collection ball and next to nothing on the main tank - i must have had a loose connection somewhere ... nothing happened, the hops are just sitting in the ball at the bottom very anti climactic! should I close the butterfly...
